I just purchased Search and Filter Pro and was reading the instructional support documentation concerning “Adding New Fields > Creating More Fields > Creating New Taxonomies” http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/getting-started/adding-new-fields/
The page paragraph reads:
“The easiest way to add new taxonomies to your site is to use a plugin – one that we use regularly is CPT UI which amongst other things allows you to create custom taxonomies easily for any post type in your environment.”
I downloaded the plugin “Custom Post Type UI” so that I could create new post types and taxonomies, however this plugin does not allow me assign existing or new posts to any of these new classifications or view them. Apparently there is an upgrade plugin called “Custom Post Type UI Extended” that displays these new categories on wordpress however your instruction page makes no mention of this requirement or limitation of Custom Post Type UI.
Ultimately my goal is to have 4 groups (e.g. taxonomies) of data utilizing a search filter similar to your Movie Review Demo. Here is my proposed structure.
Post Type: Videos
Taxonomy #1 – Talent – various athletes by name
Taxonomy #2 – Division – one of two possibilities
Taxonomy #3 – Positions of Control
Taxonomy #4 – Manueuvers
I have two problems:
1) I can’t assign new or existing posts to a particular taxonomy.
2) I do not understand how you assign data (subcategories, titles, names etc.) to taxinomies similar to how you have data displayed in drop down under “Genres” on your movie demo site.
The video tutorial is very helpful but the process of assigning and/or classifying posts into types, taxonomies, tags etc so that they display in the examples you have given is not clear.
Thank you
